Look how huge these spots at Cherry Creek are! We need to have a party here, just so we can utilize all the space! What you can't see is that our neighbors are each about 40-50 feet from us. I'll try to get that photo tomorrow. Also, look at these…

Our new spot at Cherry Creek. We're parked next to another Airstream (a Bambi). How nice!

Yesterday early evening we drove up to Hagerman Pass. Here's the view: The road got to be pretty rocky and slow and we found a spot we thought we'd use to turn around in. But first, Kevin got out the hex and flew for a few minutes. Here's the road…

Elbert, at 14,439ft. (Colorado has 53 mountains that qualify as Fourteeners!) We'd both been a little bummed not to…
